are there any stations in the area that play JUST classic country?

like nothing older than the mid 70s

10/8/2006 11:15:25 AM

Willie's Place - XM 13

10/8/2006 11:22:05 AM

^^we've been needing a station like that for years.

10/8/2006 12:34:49 PM

it wouldnt last

10/8/2006 3:32:21 PM

ATTN: WKNC

PLEASE PLAY MORE CLASSIC PRE-1970s COUNTRY

10/8/2006 3:37:11 PM

I just saw this...

FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!

10/8/2006 3:43:12 PM

^^ why dont get get a slot and do it.

training isnt that bad

10/8/2006 3:43:53 PM

i used to work at wknc in 1995 and for a commercial station in 1996

so i'd been through the training

but then wknc got newfangled computarz and i never learned how to operate those...so i would just talk and let someone else run the board if i hung out on the air with someone like ariel, benny mac or andrew payne

and it's all i can do some weeks to make sure my technician work gets turned in...on top of my full-time job at state and various freelance stuff..and saturdays and sundays are reserved for football

your call, and im not sure if we have any open weekend spots.

10/8/2006 4:02:42 PM

aha i'm sure my department would be like, "yeah go ahead and go play on the radio for 2 hours during the day while you're supposed to be working on graphic design for the administration"

it'd be pretty sweet, though

10/8/2006 4:06:16 PM

maybe you should do some design for us. and then you can say your working on stuff for us but just be on the radio

10/8/2006 4:09:57 PM

somebody recently reused an old design i did for wknc

it was a black t-shirt with an old style robot holding the earth on the back

i saw some kids wearing them during orientation...i think they were for the staff or something

10/8/2006 4:12:35 PM

yeah actually we did make staff shirts with that.

"106.1 WRDU'S New format is set to debut on Monday, October 9th, featuring Whoopi Goldberg on morning drive and a mix of rythmic music from the last twenty years. 100.7 will then receive the call letters "WRDU" and will pick up where they left off on the 106.1 frequency with former 106.1 afternoon man Bob "The Blade" doing afternoons. A massive promotion by 100.7 WRDU will involve the air staff thanking listeners for "bringing the station back;" of course, that will have been all smoke and mirrors since the station really never left and was just moved to a better signal."

They are so clever.

10/8/2006 4:22:44 PM

aha xplosivo was right

10/8/2006 4:24:13 PM

hmmm i think im going to intern with the 100.7 people

we will see what happens

10/8/2006 4:27:25 PM

you pulled that off wikipedia. I just don't know if I trust that so much as anyone can update it. That being said, with the URL stuff, the wiki stuff, and the fact that it just doesn't sound "right" on the air, I don't think they are done switching.

10/8/2006 4:34:34 PM

that format sounds pretty fucking horrible.

10/8/2006 6:18:58 PM

That shit is not going to happen...RDU is Country... This is not a stunt... Its the real deal

10/8/2006 7:57:20 PM

check out the page link on http://www.1061rdu.com/

there is some sort of connection to the river, so there might be some truth to it that the river is shifting to take over some of rdu's duties

makes me sad, though, cause i liked the adult alternative

10/8/2006 8:29:34 PM

unless you are one of the upper mgmt types at CC-Raleigh, you can't say for certain that it is a done deal. The River was country for 4 days before switching over to the new AAA/Jack format that it eventually settled on. And I can tell that when that happened, there were probably 5 people in that entire building that new what the deal was. Believe me, I was there and I was inquisitive. I'm not saying that RDU won't stay a country station, I am just pointing out that there is history to support the theory.

10/8/2006 9:10:26 PM

country ? no fucking way

yeah ... country ... very much country.

I heard just a moment from the radio abortion they called a morning show today and it was pretty bad.

Fuck Clear Channel in the eyeball.

10/9/2006 10:10:52 AM

ok so does that mean BOB & TOM is now on 100.7 ???

I forgot to check this morning

10/9/2006 11:08:22 AM

bob and tom is the worst morning show i've ever heard. hell, john boy and billy are better.

10/9/2006 1:07:34 PM

yeah i heard robert d raiford on 106.1 this morning rambling on about old ladies on scooters for 10 minutes

10/9/2006 1:39:37 PM

cockadoodledoo@rooster106online.com Lets all e-mail them and let them know what we think.

Off topic:

98.3 WIST in High Point plays classic country, but I've never been able to pick it up outside of Guilford County (and even in the county, it's hit-or-miss). They're the only classic country station I know of.

I'm still ticked off about 93.1; I used to listen to them while driving between Greensboro and Raleigh. Now they're playing the same repetitive garbage that WTQR plays in GSO and WQDR plays here.

I don't know what the market is like here, but given that WTQR has a stranglehold on the Triad, and that 93.1's new website is just a static front page with a logo and phone number, I'd wager that Clear Channel is just pulling some kind of weird stunt, and that in a little while, "due to popular demand", both stations will change format yet again.
